Home in the mud
I believe the answer is:
sty
'home in the mud' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for sty that I've seen before include "Filthy place" , "Enclosure for swine" , "Pig-pen and infection on the eyelid" , "Pigs' pen" , "Animal pen" .)
